Follow on Google News | Award-winning Accent has the IT factor – with a new collection of lighting accessoriesCopenhagen based designer, Claire Requa, has again seen a need and filled it by designing her Claire de Lune IT line, a collection of contemporary accessories for simple “plug-and- play” pendant lights.
By: Accent Aps – I call LOLLIPOPS - I became aware that an accessory to hang the lights elegantly and simply, was missing. Having a simple pendant light, like LOLLIPOP, was fun to purchase, but how to actually hang it. It was like getting a (battery-driven) batteries to go with it. The bracket is made of transparent acrylic for the very reason that it should not disturb or detract from its surrounds, but rather, allow the colored cords of the pendant light to pop. An “almost-there” Wall:it was designed to be attached to the wall, giving the end-customer full choice and control over where they place their pendant lighting (depending on where there is an electrical socket, of course). “Hang your light YOUR way.” There are five models: Basic, Mickee, Trio, Chand and Torch. Basic, to hang one Lollipop, Mickee & Trio to hang three Lollipops, Chand to be able to hang Claire de Lune Chandelier, and Torch to be able to use as either a wall sconce with bulb pointing up or down, OR as a holder for a tea light. Wall:it (Mickee), with three Lollipops Lollipop These accessories will be right at home in corporate settings such as grand hotels, shops or reception spaces as well as in the home. WALL:it has won prestigious runner-up status, in the A'Design award in the Lighting and Lighting Products category, 2013-2014. (see back page) “So I have designed a simple solution that allows the pendant light to shine, to be the center of attention, by using a simple, almost-invisible item, that is easily installed with a couple of screws. The prototyping was done by using materials upcycled (from the waste of other productions) WALL:IT - A simple and elegant and nearly invisible way to hang simple, pendant lighting without the bothersome task of drilling in the ceiling, hiring electricians, etc. (Plug-n-play your Lollipop, hang it where you want) This item, with its transparency, provides a beautiful solution. The Wall:it design was prototyped in 2012, and later in 2013 developed further to be ready for market. To be available in shops in 2014 Accent is a design company based in Copenhagen, Denmark. Accent designer, American born Claire Requa, hails from Jamaica, living in Denmark for 26 years. She is a self-taught designer, her design work is based in contemporary style, while thinking of the environment. The Claire de Lune collection includes lamps made from acrylic and polypropylene, all flat-packed in sustainable packaging where possible. Clairely upcycled jewellery is a by-product of the acrylic lamp production. (clairely.dk) End
